People visiting Department of Motor Vehicles sites across Nevada on Monday and Tuesday may have found their wait times even longer than normal, after access to a national database slowed to a crawl.

Kevin Malone, public information officer for the Nevada DMV, said the nationwide Problem Driver Pointers System was returning information on inquiries back at an exceedingly slow pace much of Monday and into Tuesday morning.

When a person renews or applies for new Nevada license, that person’s name is entered into the nationwide system to determine whether, for instance, he or she has a license that has been suspended or revoked in another state.
